父亲参与选择新生儿的喂养方法。然而，她们传统上没有被纳入大多数母乳喂养教育方案。为了了解准爸爸对母乳喂养的态度和知识，我们在德克萨斯州休斯顿的五家私立医院的第一次分娩教育课程中调查了268名男性。研究人群中有81%为白色，8%为黑人，6%为西班牙裔。其中97%（n = 259）已婚。百分之五十八（n = 156）报告说，他们的配偶计划纯母乳喂养;这些男子和那些谁报告计划纯配方奶粉喂养存在一些显着差异。母乳喂养组更有可能相信母乳喂养对婴儿更好（96% vs 62%; P小于.0001），有助于婴儿联系（92% vs 53%; P小于.0001），并保护婴儿免受疾病（79% vs 47% P小于.001）。母乳喂养组也更可能希望他们的伴侣母乳喂养（90%对13%; P小于.0001），并尊重母乳喂养的女性（57%对16%; P小于.0001）。相反，配方奶粉喂养组的人更有可能认为母乳喂养对乳房不利（52%比22%; P小于0.01），使乳房丑陋（44%比23%; P小于0.05），并且干扰性行为（72%比24%; P小于0.0001）。两组的大多数人都表示母乳喂养在公共场合是不可接受的（母乳喂养= 71%，配方奶粉喂养= 78%，P <0.05）。（250字处删节）
Fathers participate in choosing the feeding method for their newborns. However they traditionally have not been included in most breast-feeding education programs. To examine expectant fathers' attitudes and knowledge regarding breast-feeding, we surveyed 268 men during the first session of their childbirth education classes at five private hospitals in Houston, Texas. The study population was 81% white, 8% black, and 6% hispanic. Ninety-seven percent (n = 259) of the total were married. Fifty-eight percent (n = 156) reported that their spouses planned to breast-feed exclusively; several significant differences existed between these men and those who reported plans for exclusive formula feeding. The breast-feeding group was more likely to believe breast-feeding is better for the baby (96% vs 62%; P less than .0001), helps with infant bonding (92% vs 53%; P less than .0001), and protects the infant from disease (79% vs 47% P less than .001). The breast-feeding group was also more likely to want their partner to breast-feed (90% vs 13%; P less than .0001) and to have respect for breast-feeding women (57% vs 16%; P less than .0001). Conversely, those in the formula feeding group were more likely to think breast-feeding is bad for breasts (52% vs 22%; P less than .01), makes breasts ugly (44% vs 23%; P less than .05), and interferes with sex (72% vs 24%; P less than .0001). The majority of both groups indicated breast-feeding was not acceptable in public (breast-feeding = 71%, formula feeding = 78%, P less than .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
